Witie

Witie is a slang term used primarily in North America, particularly in Canada and parts of the northeastern United States, to refer to a type of cigarette that is either hand-rolled or has had its tobacco altered. The term is often associated with the use of marijuana or other substances mixed with tobacco, though it can also refer to a cigarette with a less common or more potent tobacco blend.

The exact origin of the word "witie" is unclear, but it is believed to be derived from slang terms related to cigarettes or smoking. The practice of rolling one's own cigarettes, or altering them, is not new and has various cultural and economic motivations. In some contexts, "wities" are seen as a more cost-effective alternative to commercially produced cigarettes. In others, the term implies a level of informality or a departure from conventional smoking habits.

The perception and usage of the term "witie" can vary. In some circles, it is a neutral descriptor, while in others, it may carry connotations related to the substances used or the social group associated with them. The term is generally informal and not used in formal or academic discussions of tobacco products.
